Does tummy look big in this swimsuit?

Name changed for obvious reasons
Need to ask if this swimsuit accentuates stomach or can notice a big belly?/big hips
Some comment today has triggered this and I cant seem to get a straight answer.
I know MNetters are brually honest and would rather hear truth than appeasement.

If you ask a plastic surgeon what work you "need" done you're asking for trouble. The make lucrative careers out of unnecessary cosmetic surgery... Especially in LA!

Internalised unrealistic body standards for women, ahoy!

No, but your make up could be toned down a bit ;)

@Eyesopenwideawake you can’t even see the OPs face?

@pedropony76 😂
that’s because of the dramatic makeup!

Wear that costume and no one will be looking at the stomach area😄

Oh OP,
You asked for her professional opinion, she works in cosmetic surgery, in LA no less.
You are going to get the very harshest of opinions from her.
Don't ask in future, no comment about your body, looks in her presence.
FWIW I think your body is gorgeous,
Bur please work on your self worth and how you view yourself.
What others think really shouldn't matter. Your body is your body, and what should matter most of all is how you view yourself.

👏 👏 👏 👏 Girl you look so good! I wish I looked that! 😆

Funkyblues101 · 05/08/2022 04:41

Californians are nuts. Everyone knows this.

SD1978 · 05/08/2022 04:50

You asked a trainee LA plastic surgeon when're they thought you could be 'improved' by plastic surgery. She answered. It wasn't unsolicited and sorry it brought up your insecurities but you got the answer you asked for.

SD1978 · 05/08/2022 04:55

I also think updating on her figure- which she didn't solicit is a wee bit of a dick move- sorry OP. The swimsuit is lovely- but it does bring (my) attention to your stomach area as it's low cut and sort of aims the eye down there- most of the material is on the abdomen, although it looks fine from what I saw. Accept you solicited the advice and move on. If you like the suit, keep it. No one will in real life give a crap except you- so if you're comfortable go with it!!

No, but your

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 05/08/2022 04:59

That was supposed to say...
No, but your swimming hat looks a bit too big for you!

drawacircleroundit · 05/08/2022 05:30

You look really nice!

Ladybug14 · 05/08/2022 05:50

How ridiculous ! You're self conscious about your figure so you ask her if there's any changes that need to be made to your body 'as a joke' because there was a break in conversation?

I call BS

Then you're bitchy about her body up thread

Grow up

Also, she isnt exactly skinny. She is very curvy/rounded - think Kim K hips/boobs so for her to point out my hips was quite shocking. She also later made another comment (maybe not directed at me) about when women have kids your figure will 100% be ruined because of the toll and physical changes etc.(sciencetalk) .again this wasnt directed at me but it was a casual comment she made later on which again made me feel even more conscious

Not very self-aware, is she 🙄

You look fabulous, try and put her comments out of your mind.

Twiglets1 · 05/08/2022 06:04

No -wish I had your figure. Be proud of your curves (not fat at all) and especially your cleavage.

TowelChair · 05/08/2022 06:15

There’s a curve to your tummy that is highlighted by the light reflecting off the Lycra.

I think a different design costume would be more flattering. But if it’s just a swimsuit to take your kids to the leisure centre, I wouldn’t bother changing it. For holidays etc, I think you can find a better one for your figure.

Ontomatopea · 05/08/2022 06:17

You basically asked for someone to point out any tiny perceived flaw

Christinatheastonishing · 05/08/2022 06:20

Is your tummy quite round? (Not big!) Because that's how it looks in the swimsuit. Only you will know whether it's your normal look or the cut of the swimsuit.

You still look fabulous though! Really good. You should feel very confident wearing that.

RestingMurderousFace · 05/08/2022 06:23

YABU to use the word ‘tummy’.

ShirleyPhallus · 05/08/2022 06:28

These threads are always the same

daisychain01 · 05/08/2022 06:35

She replied (without even hesitating) yes you could do with a tummy tuck and just zip that bit in (points to hips) you'd have a killer LA figure!!!

shallow and vacuous.

why do women do this to other women.

ChagSameachDoreen · 05/08/2022 06:41

Well, you did ask!

Even down to the miserable arses moaning when they could have just simply not clicked

MissMaple82 · 05/08/2022 06:56

Firstly, I want to make a point of saying you look AMAZING and I'd love a figure like you have, however I can see why you have had a comment. It sort of makes it look like you have a pregnancy bumb. I thibk ots the style of swimsuit
